Goth Thunderbird IV Review

I have been playing just over a year now and this guitar is the perfect step up from my crappy first guitar (dont even ask what it was, I dont know). It is quite a good match for my style, but I cant really define the style I play as I play alot of each genre. I own a Boss Me50b effects processor and the Epi is a good partner for it. If it were stolen Im not sure if I would buy it again, I dont know if I could afford it, (I got it at an exceptional price from a friend). I love the shape of it, it looks so cool when playing in the mirror. The thing I marginally dislike about it is the heavy neck, but you could fix it by adding a strap lock behind the neck bolts. The one thing I wish it had was a selector switch between the two pickups for quick tone change, but if I did have it I suppose I would only use it occasionally.
